The dealer sits alone in the darkCigarette shines on his very last cardEverything he had, watched it come and goOn a gambler's roll

Cold wind blows a young girl's world apartShe bet it all, she bet it all on the jack of heartsGained her freedom but lost her soulOn a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll

You know the gambler - he rides, rides on a fools' train Ah, tradin' silver for goldOh, but his luck will change; time takes it's tollOn a gambler's roll

The dealer knows it's just about his last gameNot even she knows all the sorrow and painAs the forty-five deals the fatal blowOn a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll

You know the gambler - he rides, rides on a fools' trainTradin' silver for goldAh, but his luck will change; time takes it's tollOn a gambler's roll, on a gambler's rollOn a gambler's roll, on a gambler's rollOn a gambler's, gambler's roll
